Abstract:
In this study, we developed a novel competitive annealing-mediated isothermal amplification (CAMP)-based assay for the detection of the etx gene, which encodes the epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens. The assay, performed at 60 °C for 60 min, demonstrated 100 % specificity and was 100 times more sensitive than endpoint PCR.
